Our iconic Thelwell cartoon mugs are guaranteed to rekindle childhood feelings of messing around with your ponies, gymkhana’s, pony club’s and carefree times.
The perfect gift for horse-lovers of all ages.

Norman Thelwell is regarded as the unofficial artist of the British countryside and is possibly the most popular cartoonist in Britain. He commented on many aspects of human behaviour, but he is perhaps most synonymous with little girls and their little fat ponies. They have helped to ensure his continuing popularity and his immortality.

Thelwell’s range as a cartoonist has gone far beyond ponies – fishing, gardening, house-hunting, motoring, sailing, dogs, cats, farming, stately homes, children and country pursuits have all been given his unique and iconic treatment.

Thelwell’s sturdy Cambridge style ceramic mugs hold 10 fluid ounces (295ml) and are suitable for use in the home, around the yard, in the lorry and on picnics. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Gloss exterior finish. Dimensions are 8cm diameter by 9cm high. Printed in Warwickshire, UK. For easy and safe transport, Thelwell mugs come packaged in a polystyrene postal pack with a decorative card outer.
